The Orange Is The New Black Characters… In Real Life

Everyone is talking about Orange is the New Black, the dark comedy about the life of Piper Chapman in a women’s prison. I am personally addicted, and stuck at halfway through the season until I get some free time in my life! One this you notice during the series is that the girls on the show are very real. Almost a little too real. They are open about every personal sexual or hygiene issue that women have, and they are pretty rough around the edges. No makeup, skin care, hair care, nothing. Just a toothbrush and a small bar of crappy hotel soap. So it’s really interesting to see the stars of the show when they are all dressed up on the red carpet, in something other than their orange or beige scrubs.

Here are all your favourite characters from the show all dressed up for the red carpet!
